50/50??? Is that a gee up, surely that’s some messaging to try get more of us there. If one things for certain about the only advantage we have outside the coach is the home ground. Hate to see that advantage ruined by a flood of blue and black supporters.

Would not surprise me to see a lot of sharks fans there. This is there best chance to win over here in a long time and they are heavily favoured to win. Add all those up and I can see them travelling.

I’ve got no issue with trying to drum up more support however; - besides the small away supporter section and purchases by sharks members how would anyone know who the ticket purchaser supports? - I remember a similar message before the recent home game versus Parra. They were going to come in numbers and take over the hill. The reality on the day was nothing of the sort.

Doesn't matter what happens, unless the crowd is overflowing, which i very much doubt as a lot of fans are anticipating a loss, then there will be nothing but negative press regarding Lottoland. It's all about timing, and at the moment our timing is out, if the semis were on just after the Canberra game ,then the game would definitely be a sellout

Sounds like we need more supporters who don't ditch the team when the odds are against us.

I hope those that have decided to stay away miss out on a classic Manly against all odds victory.

I disagree as plenty of Manly Fans live outside our area so Post Code filter means little.

Plus the fact that both Clubs' Members ticket sales opened at the same time, one would expect a fairly equal allocation by the Ticketmaster algorithm

There are only a few dozen seats available so Manly are selling out inspite of the asbestos scare and delayed release of tickets.

Manly must know the GA sold number if they're telling you that Brookie is still short on patrons

Yeah, agree totally on the postcode thing. If they’re attributing team followed by how close they are to the team’s home base, they’d be very wrong. My sister is going with a big group from the northern end of the Illawarra (so, pretty close to the shire) and not one is supporting the Sharks. Heaps of manly jerseys down this way at the moment, BTW...have only seen a couple of Cronulla ones.

Allegiances are a whole lot less based on geography than they used to be.
